I read this, but I don't see how this differs from the behavior of
vanilla Ocaml. I commonly use shared-object libraries in my code, and
the Ocaml compiler can generate DLLs out of libraries for use within C
code. The problem addressed by ASMDynlink dynlinking Ocaml compiled code
within a running native code application. What has Vitaly's patch to do
with this?
I also don't understand your sarcasm.
